Heraldic Submissions Page
(administered by the Brickbat Herald)
Unto Andrewe Laurel; Lillia Pelican; Brunissende Wreath; and the commenting Members of the College of Arms, Greetings from Marta as tu Mika-Mysliwy, Brickbat Herald and Parhelium Herald for the Kingdom of Atenveldt!
The Atenveldt College of Heralds requests the consideration and registration of the following names and armory with the College of Arms. Unless specifically stated, the client will accept any spelling and grammar corrections; all assistance is appreciated.
1. Adheliza Stjarna: NEW DEVICE Argent, a Viking ship under sail and in dexter chief a compass star azure.
The name appears in the 20 April 2015 Atenveldt Letter of Intent.
I suppose that “drakkar” could be substituted for “Viking ship” in the blazon without issue.
2. Bartholomew of Wolfetwain: NEW DEVICE CHANGE Gules, a saltire Or, overall two grey wolf's heads erased addorsed conjoined at the necks proper. [Canis lupus]
The
name was registered February 1981. Way back when, the client's device was registered as Gules, a saltire Or, overall in base two grey wolf's heads erased addorsed conjoined at the necks proper. [Canis lupus], with the wolf's heads somehow migrating downward and being registered in base. He's never been happy with this conclusion, and lo, after these many years, would like to change his device so the heads can be returned to where he's always wanted them to be. If registered, he wishes to release his old device.
3. Brian Winterbourne : NEW NAME CHANGE from Brian the Pious, AND NEW DEVICE Azure, a sun argent charged with six pheons in annulo points to center azure and in chief a coronet embattled argent.
The current name, Brian the Pious, was registered October 2007. If the new name is registered, please retain the currently-registered one as an alternate. Brian is the client's legal name. It is also dated as Brian Mando; Male; Marriage; 04 Mar 1564; Abbey, Saint Albans, Hertford, England; Batch: M01204-1 (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N2R2-LJM). Winterbourne is an English surname dated to 1564 with John Winterbourne, Lincoln, Lincoln, England, https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JCQL-PYK, Batch B02569-3. The client is most interested in the sound of the name and will not accept Major changes to the name. He will not allow the creation of a holding name.
His Excellency just stepped down as King of Atenveldt on 2 May 2015. (http://www.atenveldt.org/Heraldry/OrderofPrecedence/memid/2097).
4. Duncan Redfern: NEW NAME and DEVICE Per fess Or and argent, a griffin passant contourny sable and two fern fronds crossed in saltire gules.
The given name Duncan can be documented to Duncan Ademe, a male with the marriage date of 1572 in Aberdeen, Scotland, Batch M11168-2 (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XTJK-8P5). Redfern is a surname dated to the marriage date of August 1560 at St Alkmund'S, Derby, Derbyshire, England for George Redfern, Batch M05537-2 (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NJ18-FMX). This is an English and Scots blend, which is permitted.
5. Elizabeth Redfern: NEW NAME The name is English. Elizabeth is a female given name dated to 1587 with this spelling in “Feminine Given Names in A Dictionary of English Surnames: Elizabeth,” Talan Gwynek (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/reaney/reaney.cgi?Elizabeth). Redfern is a surname dated to the marriage date of August 1560 at St Alkmund's, Derby, Derbyshire, England for George Redfern, Batch M05537-2 (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NJ18-FMX). As a whole, this can be dated to Elizabeth Redfern, 8 Nov 1618, Saint Botolph Bishopsgate, London, London, England, Batch P00161-1. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:V5LG-PGD
6. Emelyn Fraser: NEW HOUSEHOLD NAME, Stonegard Keep, and BADGE (fieldless) A bat-winged sphinx sejant erect sable, face argent. The primary name was registered April 2014. Stone, associated with stone, masonry, and the like is demonstrated commonly as a “prefix” for a number of locative bynames (Stoneage, Stonebreaker, Stonestreet (Reaney and Wilson, 3rd edition, p. 429)). Gard/Guard, “guard, watchman,” usually stands alone (le Gard, 1279, la Garde 1309, Reaney and Wilson, 3rd edition, p. 183, s.n. Gard, Guard) or is the second element in a name (as Old French Bonegarde, Middle English Nicknames, I. Compounds, Jan Jönsjö, Lund Studies in English 55). The use of the term Keep arose in the June 2011 LoAR, when registering Summers Keep to Cassandra Attewoode and Pelican stated: “The next question is whether Keep can be a designator, or whether this must be registered as something like Summers Keep House. We are willing to give the submitter the benefit of the doubt that the element Keep found in bynames and placenames is a word meaning something like "castle." As words like Castle can be registered either as designators or as substantive elements within a household name, we can register this as submitted.”
7. Granite Mountain, Barony of: BADGE RESUBMISSION for the Order of Beauty of Granite Mountain from Laurel, April 2015 Per fess indented vert and sable, a pen bendwise sinister issuant from an inkwell Or.
The Order name was registered April 2015.
The badge submission was returned administratively, as the hand-colored form uploaded did not match the computer-generated mini emblazon apparent in OSCAR. Corrections have been made. 8. Gunnarr Berserkr: NAME RESUBMISSION from Laurel, March 2015 The
previous name submission, Gunnarr
Bearshirt, was
returned by Laurel for the following reasons: “The byname Bearshirt
was intended as a lingua Anglica form of the Old Norse byname
Berserkr.
However, the translation of this word is simply Berserker.
As the byname Bearshirt
could not be documented any other way, we are forced to return this
name.” The client is happy to go along with this. 9. Gunnvarðr Egilsson: NEW NAME The name is Old Norse. Gunnvarðr is a male given name, FJ pp. 118, 344, 351 s.n. Gunnvarðr, Gunn-, -varðr , from Old Norse Men's Names in the Viking Answer Lady website, http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/ONMensNames.shtml#g. The reference citation that is used by the Viking Answer Lady is Scandinavian Personal Names in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, Gillian Fellows-Jensen, Copenhagen, Akademisk Forlag, 1968.Gunnvarðr also appears in Nordiskt runnamnslexikon (The Dictionary of Norse Runic Names), by Lena Peterson. Egill is a male given name, GB p. 9 s.n. Egill; FJ pp. 74, 342, found in the same source. The client desires a male name and is most interested in the meaning of the name.
10. Haukr Bjarnarson: NEW NAME CHANGE, from William of Lochridge The currently-registered name is William of Lochridge; that was registered May 2012. If this is registered, the old name should be retained as an alternate. The name is Old Norse. Haukr is a male given name found in “The Old Norse Name,” Geirr Barri Haraldsson, p. 10. Bjarnarson is a Norse patronymic byname formed from the given name Bjǫrn. The latter is cited as a Norse masculine given name in Geirr Bassi, which also specifies the genitive form Bjarnar and resulting patronymic Bjarnarson.
11. Isabeau della Farfalla: NEW BADGE Sable, a crescent argent charged with a butterfly azure.
The name was registered June 1995.
Consider Cadwynn ap Cheshire, registered March of 1975: Sable, within a crescent argent, a crescent embattled gules. There is a DC for removing the embattled crescent, which seems to be a secondary charge (Cadwynn's file at Laurel is missing), and one DC for the addition of the tertiary charge.
The
client may wish to draw the crescent more centered on the field, but
it is not in base, as the horns do cross the center line. (Fieldless) A human breast proper distilling three gouts Or.
The name was registered May 2013.
The blazon is based on the registered armory of (Fieldless) A human breast azure distilling three gouttes argent. (Tetchubah of Greenlake). I don't know if it shouldn't be a little more detailed (A human breast argent, nippled gules, distilling three gouts Or.), but I tend to expand blazons to make working with them sans an emblazon a little more accurate.
The precedent granting a CD (which should support a DC) between a roundel and a breast: (For) [A human breast azure distilling three gouttes argent] We hereby overturn the precedent of May 2006 (v. Meredydd ferch Owain ap Eliseg): [(Fieldless) A woman's breast proper distilling goutes argent] This badge is returned for conflict with Edwin Bersark, Gules, a roundel so drawn as to represent a round shield battered in long and honourable service, argent, and with Erryk Blackwolf, Per bend sinister sable and gules, a plate. In each case there is a CD for fieldlessness, but there is no difference between a plate (that is, a roundel argent) and a woman's breast proper. The goutes count for naught. A human breast is an allowed charge that has one clear difference (CD) from a roundel. It must have gouttes, and the gouttes must be visible.
13. Lia Winterbourne: NEW NAME CHANGE from Lia le Citolur The
current name Lia le
Citolur, registered
June 2012 is to be retained as an alternate name. Lia is an early English feminine name dated to 1191, in "Feminine Given Names in A Dictionary of English Surnames: Lia," Talan Gwynek (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/reaney/reaney.cgi?Lia). It is also dated to the 16th C: Lia Smith; Female; Marriage; 28 Jan 1582; Stepney, Middlesex, England; Batch: M01721-0 (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NJ8J-DX6) Winterbourne is an English surname dated to 1564 with John Winterbourne, Lincoln, Lincoln, England, https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JCQL-PYK, Batch B02569-3. The sound is most important; no Major Changes to the name are permitted.
14. Michaelis Aurelius: NEW BADGE Per bend azure and purpure, on a bend engouled of two lions' heads Or, three gunstones.
The personal name was registered July 1996.
The gunstones are found on the client's device, Gules, on a fess between a galley reversed Or and a sword inverted proper, three pellets.
15. Michaelis Aurelius: NEW BADGE [Fieldless] On a bend engouled of two lions' heads Or three gunstones, overall a rapier bendwise sinister inverted Or.
The personal name was registered July 1996.
The gunstones are found on the client's device, Gules, on a fess between a galley reversed Or and a sword inverted proper, three pellets.
Noir
Licorne comments: I'm not sure a bend engouled can be used on a
fieldless badge. In registering the first instance of a bend engouled
(Islyle le Gannoker de Gavain, 8/2005, A-Caid) Wreath noted "A
bend engouled
is a bend being "devoured" at each end by a head, which
issues from the edge or corner of the shield and partially overlays
the bend." A fieldless badge can't use charges which issue from
the edge or are cut off by the edge. The entry for the Royal Bend of
Castile in Wikipedia
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Bend_of_Castile)
demonstrated several pieces of armory using this charge; while they
are on a field, several examples show the charge lying completely on
the field with the field tincture completely surrounding it, not
running off the edge of the field. These are modern interpretations
of the Royal Bend, but if lion manes are considered to be complete
and compact, rather than the fur flying off wildly, might one
consider that the charge as a whole is complete and compact as well?
